The 31 maps in this gallery show the spread of speakers of some of the most important of the languages spoken in the capital across the whole Greater London area. Click on any of the small pictures below to get a full screen version of that map. The maps are based on the figures returned by schools within each of the London boroughs.

These language maps were designed and produced by Yasir Mohieldeen within the Department of Geography at SOAS (University of London) and were first published in Multilingual Capital in 2000 using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. Since then, this department has been amalgamated with the Department of Geography at King's College. For further information, contact yasir.molhieldeen@kcl.ac.uk.
